The Value of Smartwatches in the Health Care Sector for Monitoring, Nudging, and Predicting: Viewpoint on 25 Years of Research

The Value of Smartwatches in the Health Care Sector for Monitoring, Nudging, and Predicting: Viewpoint on 25 Years of Research

For example, while the precision of step counts may be less critical in nudging scenarios aimed at increasing daily activity, the accuracy of ECG measurements is paramount when used as a determinant for emergency medical care. Our differentiation in smartwatch use—monitoring, nudging, and predicting—provides a framework for evaluating which aspects are more or less crucial depending on the intended health care application.

Social media can also serve as a form of visual nudging to promote safe behaviors. In one study, universities that shared more mask-related visual content through social media such as Facebook and Instagram observed a significant decrease in COVID-19 positivity rates [11]. Online communities enable people to form social groups where they can give and receive social support and have fun [12].

An increasingly popular approach to address cognitive limitations, such as a lack of attention, is nudging. In this study, the term nudging [38] refers to an approach that supports behavior change by design rather than behavior change as a result of intention and attitude change. Nudges are small and purposeful design elements that can take the form of, for example, reminders and notifications [38].

We also examined the demographic characteristics of the women who received, engaged with, and took action following a Precision Nudging communication. Data were analyzed using the Python programming language. Univariate statistics were used to understand who was reached with the intervention and who responded by scheduling or attending mammograms.
